Why is my juice all of a sudden changing colors?

[really_now?]

I think it might just need a cleaning but not sure. I even replaced the wick and wire.

I mix my own e juice and up till yesterday it has always clear, after mixing it was clear, while it was in the tank it was clear. Now all of a sudden starting yesterday it has changed colors.

It has went from a clear to a bud light yellow.

When it did it yesterday I was out in the sun and hot weather, but I kept my tank in my pocket and out of the sun. I would say it took about 6 hours to go from clear to the yellow color before i finally just poured it out. Put fresh juice in it and no worries. It sat half full overnight in my house with no issues.

Now today I put the same juice in the Tank and 7 hours later it also now has a yellowish tint to it like yesterday. The whole batch didnt do this just the last 2 fill ups.

I forgot to mention that the taste has not changed


Any ideas or suggestions?

Nicotine oxidizes over time and turns darker. Freshly mixed juices will most definitely darken. It's called steeping and is completely normal. Nothing is wrong with your juice. In fact, you may find that the darker, older juices taste better.

Heat and direct sunlight will hasten the steeping process.

And also it will get darker in your tank as your coils gunk up a bit and leech back into the juice (amount depends on atty/tank)

Makes sense. I just put in a fresh wick and new wire last late, because that was my 1st thought is that the coil and wick are gunked up.

Thanks again fellas.

Hey, we all had to start somewhere, right?

Consider yourself one of the lucky (and smart) few who managed to find ECF. Props for taking time to do research.
